The agriculture department has inspected 12,362 fertiliser sale premises as part of its enforcement drives. Besides the FIRs, 115 licences have been suspended and three cancelled, while 1,223 bags of fertilisers were seized in cases of diversion. A total of 8,533 bags of urea, DAP, NPK, SSP and other fertilisers have been seized under quality-control action, officials said. The government is currently running a special quality-control campaign from September 10 to October 15, under which inspections, seizures, sampling and checks on fertiliser diversion are being carried out. The state currently also has 106,000 tonnes of DAP, 97,000 tonnes of NPK and 208,000 tonnes of SSP in stock, according to the agriculture department. Officials said districts and blocks with relatively low availability and high consumption were being identified and supplied on priority according to demand.
